Dr. Candice Silveira [she, her, hers] earned both her Masters and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology, with a Child and Family Emphasis at the California Professional School of Psychology at Alliant International University (AIU), San Diego. She has worked in clinical positions as a clinician, student supervisor, and instructor. Dr. Silveira’s experiences have ranged from working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings. This has included schools, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and long-term outpatient clinics. She has experience working with military members, voluntary sex workers,  family systems, and community systems. Dr. Silveira actively aims to incorporate decolonized perspectives into her practice to support people with an array of experiences.  She has considerable training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT),  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Relational Therapy.  Dr. Silveira has completed a Fellowship at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center and an APA internship at a community clinic in Oakland, CA. Engagement in these training programs gave her the ability to apply Psychoanalytic theory into therapeutic practice with individuals and family systems. Her approach is sincere, as she integrates openness, awareness, and inclusivity into all of her work. Dr. Silveira is skilled at delicately holding different factors of lived experiences (such as:  neurotypicality/ neurodivergence, social implications, systemic elements, gender identity, culture, socio-economic status, and transgenerational trauma, to name a few) to support individuals, as they navigate their personal and collective trials of life.
